A Watch Gift Guide for Dads and Grads
Even in tough times, a watch can be the perfect present - whether it be for the father of the family or a recent graduate. If you do your homework, you can find the perfect gift to celebrate such an occasion. There are literally thousands of good choices out there, but here are just a few to help stimulate your thoughts or point you in the right direction. Each of these timepieces will be a good choice, but there are others of course.A watch will carry you to next phase in your life, and reflect a person's personality better than any other accoutrement. Based on their tastes and style, gifting someone with a watch is one of the most lasting, thoughtful gifts to give.Another benefit of gifting watches - is that this gift does not end with the original wearer. Whether passing down the watch to future generations, or trading with trusted retailers such as Tourneau, there are stories that follow each watch, as assuredly as the passing second hands.Knowing that we love watches here, belo

Took a few pics that I thought I'd share. I submitted the last one at another forum for their masthead competition.

New rubber strap for my Speedie!
Hi all,Just got a new rubber strap with matching orange stitching for my HB-SIA Solar Impulse Speedmaster, and I think it looks great! The orange just makes the accents on the watch pop.This is one heck of a versatile watch, and with this strap it is even lighter. You can't even notice it is on your wrist.

16610 next to 116610
Had a small gathering with a few watch enthusiasts here in Montreal tonight. It was organized by Canadian watch collectors and WatchPaper.Had the chance (for the first time) to see small and big, old and new or 16610 and 116610 next to each other. Although the 16610 is somewhat more charming, with the smaller markers, black bezel and tapered lugs - I can safely say the 116610 is a sure better option for me. It's just perfect!Thought I'd share some pics - enjoy!IMG_1597.jpgIMG_1598.jpgIMG_1599.jpgIMG_1600.jpgIMG_1607.jpgSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
